Rich Burlew lives in the US (New York or Pennsylvania these days). David Morgan-Mar of Irregular Webcomic, however, is Australian.

B/P is already metric, since it is measured in millimeters of mercury.

The proper metric unit of pressure is Pascal, or Newton/square meter. mmHg is an older unit that still sticks around in many fields, notably meteorology and medicine.
